    Even with all the missed 3s Rockets were still up 16! 3rd quarter they didn't force it. Harden didn't try to push tempo. He didn't try to get in the paint. He continued to try and feed a slumped Anderson.

    People will blame Anderson, I blame Harden.

    Not a Harden hater*

    Ariza is who he is, a limited offensive player but a super role player and mr fix on a contender. To expect him to be a major offensive weapon that we right now are asking of him right (out of no other option at that position) is not fair to expect him to be some star.

    Right - but is that the actual reason why we lost? Hell no.

    Come on, they missed shots, and when this team can't hit jumpers from the 3, they are going to struggle to win.

    We have enough shooters to where you would think ONE would go off, but tonight, nope, probably should have run Witljer out there.

    The refs were **** but guess what buddy - we're up by 15. You step on their throat and make them beg for the end, we made the refs a factor in the game with our lackadaisical play, refs didnt lose us this game, not even close.

    It's one loss.... two in a row. Not a big deal. Good learning for our team on how tough they are gonna have to be against teams like this.

    We are still in the midst of a great season. RELAX

    Pringly should just throw two bigs together everytime Ryno is not shooting it well. If we can't score in the paint at least keep the rebounding equal to the opponent.

    Beverly, Ariza and Anderson are pivotal players for us. Our entire offense is predicated on the making the open 3's that Harden creates.

    They are typically pretty good at it. But making 3's is also literally their only offensive skills of value. Those 3 have nothing else to turn to if they aren't hitting. When those 3 go 2-17, we are gonna lose.

    Memphis is a good team and a giant killer. We need more sand in our pants to match up with these teams with elite bigs. Morey knows this hence the Koufus rumors.

    On to the next game, it's a long season yet.

    Well, at least Harden wasn't hurt after Ennis, for whatever reason, thought that he was playing football.

    His timeouts are better than your opnions. So maybe go work on that first, then assess the team.

    Better yet, go find another team. The rockets don't want you, neither do we.

    Did harden bang your girl?
